A couple of 3-whistle questions

[BktBallRef]

I think the exception to all of this is the secondary defender that sets up in the lane to take the charge. I don't see the C being able to bring the dribbler and primary defender from out front to the hole and know whether the secondary defender truly had position or not. In this sitch, the secondary probably comes from the L's primary to gain position. It's much easier for the L to make that call, as he's been officiating that defender the whole time.

I also give consideration to this when a weak side defender is moving over to play defense, not just to take a charge.

btw...is it safe to say that the first Star Wars movie was born before you were?

It is not only safe to say it, it is a certainty.

By the way I have not been on this forum that long so I was wondering how you put part or all of someone else's post in yours without having to type it or copy and paste.

My point was that, especially in three whistle, you don't want to come with any mechanic until you make eye contact with your partners. I have been told, especially in the case of a scramble for the ball, hit your whistle, get you hand in the air and close in. After you make sure your partners don't have a foul that you didn't see, go to the jump. Coaches get a little irate when you have a double whistle and one guy has a jump and another has a foul. I'm pretty good about eye contact most of the time, but I need to make sure I wait with the mechanic on jump balls. This is something that I've almost always talked about and heard talked about in 3 whistle pregames.

And the coaches don't get upset when you have an open hand and your partner has a fist? Unless you're both just blowing the whistle without any hand signal at all, the opportunity is there for a "double call." Talk and get it right (or step up and take it), but have something when you blow the whistle.
